Recordium

A simple app to help your out-of-your-desktop-or-laptop self to remind
stuff to your future in-your-desktop-or-laptop self.

The idea is that you execute Recordium in your desktop computer or in your
laptop, and it will remain there as a small icon.

Later, anytime, you are on the road or away, and remind something you should
do in the future. At that moment you send a Telegram text or audio to your
Recordium Bot. And when you come back to your computer (where you can take
proper actions for the reminder), the Recordium icon will be light up, and
you see that message there.

Step by step instructions

Set up Recordium (provisional instructions, in the future this should be
packaged):

After creating new bot you can set an image to it. For this, type the command
/setuserpic to BotFather. It will ask you to select which of your bots you
want to edit and after the selection it will ask you to send a picture.

If you want to use Recordium logo for this, download it from
here and send it to BotFather.

F.A.Q.

Wait, couldn't you almost solve this using other propietary and/or more
complex tools? Probably yes, but I didn't want more complex stuff (and
no way using Google for this). Also, and it's the most important reason: I
wanted a toy project for using PyQt 5 under Python 3.

Is there a way to debug what it does? When running bin/recordium
see that it tells you where logs are kept. Also, you can do
bin/recordium -v and see it all in the terminal.
